Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Smells So Good

Tang Zhubiao also couldn’t help but feel sympathetic while mentally questioning everything, especially watching Qiao Jing pinch people nearby.

He turned to comfort her, "It’s all right, Gong Qiming is in a transition period, and it is just the right time for him to take on more martial arts and action dramas in the future. See how good his moves are? Ordinary people can’t manage that."

But Qiao Jing felt no consolation at all. Gong Qiming being good at martial arts was already well-known in the industry.

The expansion wasn’t in martial arts dramas, it was plainly meant for comedic roles.

In the scene, a child was tugging at his mother’s skirt, milkily remarking, "Mommy, that uncle can fly, wow, so amazing!"

Gong Qiming glanced at the crowd during a break, "What uncle? Call me brother!"

Yue Qingqing also displayed impressive skills, performing a series of punches she had learned from who knows where.

The movements, ethereal and full of grace, were thoroughly captured by the camera.

By the end of the round, the two actually earned a thick stack of money, surrounded by cries and cheers.

Gong Qiming handed the loudspeaker back to the florist’s owner.

The female shop owner, eyes sparkling, pulled out an instant camera and had an employee take photos, insisting on including Yue Qingqing in the shots.

With such a beautiful girl, even if she wasn’t a star now, her fame was bound to grow in the future.

Gong Qiming and Yue Qingqing made a handsome profit, completing the tough challenge set by the show producers in just over two hours.

Gong Qiming, full of pride, raised his eyebrows at the camera, as if to say, "Did you think these little challenges could trap me?"

His expression was annoying yet incredibly charismatic.

This was the advantage of having a good face.

"Let’s go, Junior Brother will take you for a stroll."

Having accomplished their goal, their minds were much more relaxed, lacking any sense of urgency, and they adopted a tourist mentality.

Usually, a shopping trip would mean being mobbed by fans, but now, with the camera crew following them, passersby mistook it for a film shoot.

They didn’t dare come close, only watching from a distance.

Compared to this group’s comfort, the other groups weren’t as lucky.

Gu Tiantian glanced over from afar and noticed they were performing, immediately returning to her boyfriend disheartened.

It was impossible to copy their approach; the difficulty level was just too high.

It was like a slower student who scribbles an answer, peeks at a top student’s paper, and finds formulas he doesn’t even understand—he’d get it wrong even if he tried to copy.

Eventually, the two entered a large clothing store to look for jobs.

Glancing at the camera following them, the shrewd manager realized this was an opportunity for publicity.

He offered them high salary positions; they would stand in the store as sales guides, and by seven in the evening they could almost afford two tickets.

Tang Zhubiao stroked his chin, "Have the business team contact this brand immediately to see if they are willing to pay for product placement. If not, we’ll blur them out when this is broadcast."

Qiao Jing was so impressed she was almost prostrating herself in admiration.

The manager thought he was on the second floor, but he didn’t realize the strategic Tang Zhubiao was already on the fifth floor.

Not surprisingly, another profit was on the way, and of course, the brand got exposure too. It was a situation where everyone benefited.

But trying to freeload was definitely out of the question.

Pei Zhe and Wu Manbai then found one of Kangcheng’s most upscale restaurants.

This place was renowned for its high per capita cost, and meals were complimented by live piano performances.

The ambiance was very elegant.

Pei Zhe approached the restaurant’s manager and became the pianist for the day. Needless to say, the payment was substantial.

Indeed, expertise comes with age. Their journey was very smooth, hardly chaotic like Gong Qiming’s full of unexpected turns.

However, the production team had never anticipated that the two groups would end up meeting.

Gong Qiming and Yue Qingqing had been strolling leisurely until they arrived in front of the restaurant.

Yue Qingqing took a whiff, her keen senses kicking in once again.

"Junior Brother... it smells so good..."
